Mandarin Orange Salad recipe


This amazing recipe I founded at http://www.susiefreakinghomemaker.com/ and I love it.  Every time I make it I think it changes just a touch, but those two ingredients remain the same. We had this for dinner last night without adding any additional protein, give it a try!
